Elly's Supreme Taste & Libera Estate win second prize for “Most Skillful Wine and Food Pairing”

For the second year in a row we took part in the tasting competition “Most Skillful Wine and Food Pairing” in Plovdiv.

In this article you can read about our first participation in 2021.

The event is organized by the Tourism Council, together with the University of Food Technologies, and its aim is to stimulate creativity and the concept of terroir cuisine, which uses local products from local farms that carry the traditions and culture of the region. Participants have up to 10 minutes to present up to 2 pairings, created so that the taste of the food combines as well as possible with the wines and they mutually highlight the qualities of the products. The winners are chosen by a 5-member jury, which evaluates each pairing according to a predefined scoring system.

Our participation was together with the winery Libera Estate.

Wine sommelier and consultant Zhivko Enchev prepared a tuna steak with Tradicion Arbequina extra virgin olive oil by Nobleza del Sur, zucchini pappardelle, fennel, sun-dried tomato and delicate sprouts, seasoned with Ariston lime-infused olive oil. The dish was served with Shiroka Melnishka Loza Rosé wine and won second place.

We are glad that we were part of an event that contributes to the development of wine, culinary and cultural-historical tourism in Bulgaria.
